There are specifc reasons why there is a separate AC volt rage.
The BM235 meter for example (among other brands) that shares the AC & DC switch position has a limitation of what it can measure, and also hence auto-range in the presence of AC+DC signals.
The AC position also allows dedicated AC coupling.
